Here’s the list of NJ beaches extending their season

Like all other businesses in NJ, shore towns suffered great economic loss because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that more has opened back up such as indoor dining, business owners are understandably desperate to make up as much as they can.

This ought to help.

A number of shore towns are extending their season and keeping lifeguards on their beaches past Labor Day. The downside, if you consider this one, you’ll still need a beach badge.

Here’s a list of some beaches that will remain open and what you can expect.

Allenhurst

Lifeguard protected through September 13

Asbury Park

Beaches open 7 days a week through September 30.

Avon

Lifeguards on duty Sept 12 and 13, 19 and 20 (just the two weekends after Labor Day.) Reduced bathroom availability and badges limited to 1,500 per day.

The Jersey Shore is an important part of the Jersey economy. I hope this draws in more people to ease the losses these businesses have suffered.
